Inkjet printer

An inkjet printer comprising:

• a feeding device configured to feed a sheet in a feeding direction;
• a recording device configured to record an image by ejecting ink from nozzles on a recording side of the sheet fed by the feeding device;
• a plurality of contact members configured to contact the recording side of the sheet, fed by the feeding device, on an upstream side of the nozzles of the recording device in the feeding direction, the plurality of contact members being arranged at intervals in a width direction orthogonal to the feeding direction;
• and
• a controller configured to control the feeding device and the recording device,
• wherein at least one of the plurality of contact members is configured to contact an end portion of the sheet in the width direction when the end portion of the sheet is located within a predetermined range in the width direction, and
• wherein the controller is configured to perform:
• a determining process to determine whether the end portion of the sheet, in the width direction, is located within the predetermined range in the width direction;
• an image printing process, by controlling the feeding device and the recording device, in which an image is printed on the sheet when the end portion of the sheet is located within the predetermined range;
• and
• a restriction process to restrict the image printing process when, in the determining process, it is determined that the end portion of the sheet is not located within the predetermined range,
• wherein each of the plurality of contact members contact the sheet at a contact position in a height direction orthogonal to both the feeding direction and the width direction, and
• wherein the controller performs:
• a calculation process to calculate a first distance between the end portion of the sheet, which is not located within the predetermined range, in the width direction and one of the plurality of contact members that is a member closest to the end portion in the width direction;
• and
• the restriction process when the first distance calculated in the calculation process is longer than a second distance between the contact position and the nozzles in the height direction.

• and
• a restriction process to restrict the image printing process when, in the determining process, it is determined that the end portion of the sheet is not located within the predetermined range;
• and
• a platen comprising a plurality of ribs extending along the feeding direction,
• wherein the plurality of ribs are configured to contact a back side of the sheet, the back side being a reverse side of the recording side, the plurality of ribs and the plurality of contact members being arranged alternately, and
• wherein the controller performs the restriction process when the end portion of the sheet, which is not located within the predetermined range, is located between one of the plurality of ribs, which contacts the sheet and is closest to the end portion of the sheet, and one of the plurality of contact members, which does not contact the sheet and is closest to the end portion of the sheet.
